My 2013 Recap: The Year of Experience





This year was the year of experience for me.  Unfortunately in some situations but a blessing in others. I experienced a NEW blessing in a NEW home for the BULLSROOM and I love fixing it up to my likings.  I experienced my hubby DROSE ultimate downfall in his career twice.  I experienced financial lost within my job since July I've been part time and don't know if/when I'll ever return full time (work in non-profit), but I've done my job with a smile each day and never stop giving my best to the youth I served in the schools.  I've experienced starting over as a sophmore in school instead of entering my senior year where I belong because my credits were deemed out dated and been doing the best I can and getting the best grades possible and offered to apply for a scholarship.  I experienced more outreach services with ANMF than motivational speaking or providing workshops that has humbled me even more and finally received my certification to be an IL Domestic Violence trainer.  I experienced days when my cabinets were empty of food for me and my family, but I still volunteered serving the homeless and battered women populations with thanksgiving in my heart.  I experienced severe writer's block and did not produce more fruit with the most precious gift God gave me....writing His word so that people can hear from Him.  I experienced depression, low self esteem and lost my confidence these last three months of my life and my cousin Erica Walton and sister Kwiannie Williams ('KIKI') have been the shoulders from a distance that I could lean on daily and reminded me of who's child I am and helped bring me back from that dark place of self destruction that I slipping into.  Finally, I experienced an unexpected loss of love within the last three weeks.  God saw what I couldn't see in 3 years but He showed me the whole time I can admit that and in one day, removed this man from my life so that the man that is out there for me, who can love me honestly, will be in alignment with God as I am and will be the one for me.  I don't know what awaits me in 2014 but I will walk into the next season trusting God and rebuilding my confidence in myself.  Happy NYE everyone be safe and blessed.
